<span>Balloons are blown up, and then rubbed against your shirt many times. The balloon then touches the ceiling. When released, the balloon remains stuck to the ceiling. The balloon is charged by contact. The ceiling has a neutral charge. The charged balloon induces a slight surface charge on the ceiling opposite to the charge on the balloon. Balloon and ceiling electric charges are opposite in sign, so they will attract each other. Since both the balloon and the ceiling are insulators, charge can not flow from one to the other. The charge on the balloon is fixed on the balloon and the charge on the ceiling remains fixed to the ceiling. It just so happens that the<span> electrostatic force the ceiling exerts on the balloon is sufficient to hold the balloon in place (i.e. overcomes gravity, etc.).</span></span>

Describe a ball's motion as it rolls up a slanted
emmasim [6.3K]

The ball will decelerate as it moves upwards.

The magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the ball, u = 1.25 m/s
  • time of motion of the ball, t = 4.22 s

As the ball rolls up the inclined plane, the velocity decreases and eventually becomes zero when the ball reaches the highest point of the plane.

Thus, the ball decelerate as it moves upwards.

The acceleration of the ball is calculate as;

a = \frac{v_f -v_0}{t} \\\\

<em>at the highest point on the incline plane, the final velocity </em>v_f<em> is zero</em>

a = \frac{0-1.25}{4.22} \\\\a = -0.3 \ m/s^2

Thus, the magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.

Planet Nine is speculated to be on average 20 times farther away from the Sun than Neptune (on average distance from the Sun). H
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The distance is 55.636 billion miles, or 528.2 AU.

Explanation:

Since the distance from the Sun to Neptune is 2.7818 billion miles, the distance from the Sun to Planet Nine would be 20 times that, which is:

d=(20)(2781800000\ miles)=55636000000\ miles

or 55.636 billion miles.

Since 1 astronomical unit (AU) is 93 million miles, that distance is also:

d=(55636000000\ miles)(\frac{1AU}{93000000\ miles})=598.2\ AU

A 132 cm wire carries a current of 2.2 A. The wire is formed into a circular coil and placed in a B Field of intensity 1 T. a) F
EastWind [94]

Given Information:

Length of wire = 132 cm = 1.32 m

Magnetic field = B =  1 T

Current = 2.2 A

Required Information:

(a) Torque = τ = ?

(b) Number of turns = N = ?

Answer:

(a) Torque = 0.305 N.m

(b) Number of turns = 1

Explanation:

(a) The current carrying circular loop of wire will experience a torque given by

τ = NIABsin(θ)   eq. 1

Where N is the number of turns, I is the current in circular loop, A is the area of circular loop, B is the magnetic field and θ is angle between B and circular loop.

We know that area of circular loop is given by

A = πr²

where radius can be written as

r = L/2πN

So the area becomes

A = π(L/2πN)²

A = πL²/4π²N²

A = L²/4πN²

Substitute A into eq. 1

τ = NI(L²/4πN²)Bsin(θ)

τ = IL²Bsin(θ)/4πN

The maximum toque occurs when θ is 90°

τ = IL²Bsin(90)/4πN

τ = IL²B/4πN

torque will be maximum for N = 1

τ = (2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*1

τ = 0.305 N.m

(b) The required number of turns for maximum torque is

N = IL²B/4πτ

N = 2.2*1.32²*1)/4π*0.305

N = 1 turn

two wires have the same length, but the second has twice the diameter of the first. find the resistance of the second wire if th
djverab [1.8K]

2ω is the resistance of the second wire if the resistance of the first is 4ω if two wires have the same length, but the second has twice the diameter of the first.

R= 4ω.

R = ρl/A

2d=r

R2=2ω

Resistance is the capacity of a conductor to obstruct the passage of an electric current through it. It is controlled by the interaction of the applied voltage and the electric current passing through it.

Conductors have very little resistance, whereas insulators have a significant amount of resistance. The resistance increases as the current flow decreases. Resistance is influenced by the properties and dimensions of the material (area of cross section)
